Abstract: We argued in this paper that the Romanian automotive manufacturing industry needs a disruptive change in order to sustain GDP growth. How to add value in the production and management process through automation and robotization? Based on main author’s years of experience as General Manager in different international automotive companies in Romania and critical review of the international literature the article attempts to build solid foundations for a possible future of work in the Romanian automotive manufacturing industry. With already existing technologies, today one third of the activities in an automotive manufacturing plant in Romania could be automated. In order to maintain a fast-growing GDP rate, Romania cannot rely anymore just on the best cost and available qualified and unqualified workforce on the labor market. The speed and extend of automation and robotization of the manufacturing processes depend on several local factors.
